So you thought Android Wear is dead, right? Well, it isn’t. Google recently changed the name from Android Wear to Wear OS, and this indicated that the company has big plans for the Wear OS. The company officially announced that it is renaming Android Wear as it said on the official blog –
In 2017, one out of three new Android Wear owners also used an iPhone. So today we are announcing a new name that better reflects our technology, vision, and most important of all—the people who wear our watches.
